ID	Method	pH	Temperature	Details
1	VAPOR DIFFUSION, HANGING DROP	7	313	HANGING-DROP TECHNIQUE AT 4O C WITH (NH4)2SO4 AS PRECIPITANT. EACH DROPLET OF THE PHENYLALANYL-TRNA SYNTHETASE SOLUTION (10 microliters) AT PROTEIN CONCENTRATION OF 3 TO 5 MG PER ML IN 20 MM IMIDASOL-HCL BUFFER (PH 7.8), 1 MM MGCL2, 1 MM NAN3 AND 15% SATURATED (NH4)2SO4 IN THE SAME BUFFER. CRYSTALS APPEARED AFTER ONE TO TWO WEEKS AND GREW UP TO THE MAXIMAL DIMENSIONS OF 0.4X0.4X0.25 MM IN A FEW WEEKS, pH 7.0, VAPOR DIFFUSION, HANGING DROP, temperature 313K
